Using Mind Mapping for Project Management

There are many tools that you can use when developing project plans. As a project manager, I found that mind mapping tools are an easy way to start developing business plans. Below is a short list of mind mapping tools that I tested which may be beneficial to you.

• Mind Meister – online (my prefer choice)
• Freemind – desktop (can be imported by MindMeister)
• MindJet – online
• iMindMap – online (created by the inventor of mind mapping, Tony Buzan)

Although other mind mapping software exist, these are the ones which have be considered as part of this article series. As a project manager, you can use mind mapping software to help your clients or team develop a map of how your project interconnects.

Do you have additional mind mapping software programs that you have used to manage projects? Please feel free to share them by leaving a comment.
